FOREWORD 

By  the  provisions  of  section  nine  of  the  act  creating  the  State 
Department  of  Agriculture  (approved  Ma}^  16,  1919,  Stats.  1919, 
p.  542)  the  Director  of  Agriculture  ".  .  .  is  vested  with  the  power 
and  is  charged  with  the  duty  of  administering  and  enforcing  ..." 
the  state  law  regulating  the  sale  of  commercial  fertilizers  (approved 
March  20,  1903,  Stats.  1903,  p.  259),  and  all  acts  amending  or  supple- 
menting said  act.  Although  the  transfer  of  functions  legally  took 
place  on  July  20,  1919,  an  arrangement  was  made  with  the  Agricul- 
tural Experiment  Station  to  postpone  the  actual  transfer  until  July  1, 
1920,  on  account  of  lack  of  funds  and  proper  housing  for  the  laboratory 
equipment. 

I  am  deeply  appreciative  of  the  work  of  the  Director  of  the  Agri- 
cultural Experiment  Station  and  his  associates  in  administering  the 
fertilizer  control  law  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1920,  report 
of  which  is  made  in  this  publication. 

My  duty  of  correlating  the  administration  of  state  regulatory 
measures  pertaining  to  agriculture,  as  definitely  outlined  by  legislative 
action,  was  carried  out  in  respect  to  the  fertilizer  control  law  by 
actively  assuming  its  administration  on  July  1,  1920,  and  transferring 
the  necessary  office  and  laboratory  equipment  to  Sacramento. 

Reports  of  analyses  of  commercial  fertilizers  and  other  publications 
pertaining  to  the  operation  of  the  law  will  be  issued  hereafter  by  the 
State  Department  of  Agriculture,  Sacramento,  to  which  address  all 
communications  on  these  subjects  should  be  sent. 

G.  H.  Hecke,  Director, 
State  of  California, 

Department  of  Agriculture.

COMMERCIAL   FERTILIZERS 

By  W.  H.  DORE 


This  bulletin  comprises  the  results  of  the  fertilizer  inspection  work 
of  the  California  Fertilizer  Control*  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 
1920. 

PURPOSE  AND  FUNCTIONS  OF  THE  FERTILIZER  CONTROL 

The  duty  of  the  Fertilizer  Control  is : 

First. — To  issue  certificates  of  registration  to  manufacturers  and 
dealers  who  have  complied  with  the  law  by  filing  a  sworn  statement 
of  the  composition  and  sources  of  the  fertilizers  they  wish  to  sell. 

Second. — To  analyze  these  fertilizers  as  found  in  the  open  market 
and  publish  the  results  for  the  information  of  the  public.  If  a  manu- 
facturer sells  fertilizers  which  are  materially  below  his  guarantee  in 
composition  or  value  he  is  subject  to  prosecution  and  fine.  By  this 
means  it  is  intended  to  insure  to  purchasers  that  the  fertilizers  they 
buy  shall  be  substantially  as  represented. 

By  a  study  of  the  reports  of  analyses  of  fertilizers  the  consumer 
should  be  able  to  determine  whether  the  materials  he  buys  are  sold 
for  a  fair  price,  and  whether  he  obtains  fertilizers  of  the  desired 
composition.  In  short,  the  function  of  the  Fertilizer  Control  is  to  see 
that  the  manufacturer  gives  the  consumer  a  square  deal. 

MAINTENANCE  OF  GUARANTEES 


Every  manufacturer  is  required  by  law  to  guarantee  the  percentage 
of  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid,  and  potash  in  the  fertilizers  he  sells. 
Owing  to  difficulties  of  sampling  and  analysis  the  law  permits  a 
maximum  deficiency  of  0.25  per  cent  nitrogen,  1.00  per  cent  phos- 
phoric acid,  and  0.50  per  cent  potash  from  the  figures  guaranteed. 
Greater  deficiencies  than  these  are  regarded  as  infractions  of  the  law 
and  are  indicated  in  the  report  of  analyses  in  black-faced  type. 

Some  manufacturers  uphold  their  guarantees  better  than  others. 
The  following  table  is  a  condensed  report  of  the  deficiencies  found  in 
the  main  table  of  analyses.  It  summarizes  the  work  done  in  this  labora- 
tory on  each  manufacturer 's  goods.    The  columns  headed  Deficiencies — 

*  General  Laws  of  California,  Oct  1157,  Statutes  of  1903,  p.  259  et  seq.,  approved  March 
20,  1903.

per  cent  of  possible,  may  be  used  for  comparison  of  the  various  com- 
panies as  to  probability  of  meeting  their  guarantees.  The  other  col- 
umns are  necessary  to  show  how  these  figures  were  obtained.  In  cases 
where  very  few  analyses  are  reported  for  a  manufacturer  the  figures 
should  be  taken  with  caution,  as  perhaps  not  properly  representative. 
When  several  samples  of  one  manufacturer's  goods  were  analyzed  the 
figures  may  be  accepted  as  probably  a  fair  indication  of  the  reliability 
of  his  guarantee. 

In  general,  manufacturers  have  more  than  maintained  their  guar- 
antees in  the  past,  so  that  an  average  of  all  the  analyses  would  show  a 
substantial  increase  over  the  amount  guaranteed.

Owing  to  the  possibility  of  misunderstanding ,  the  figures  for  per- 
centage deficiencies  are  not  given  in  above  table  in  cases  where  less  than 
four  samples  were  analyzed. 

Fertilizers  sold  on  station  analysis,  and  some  others,  are  not  given  a 
valuation  in  the  table  of  analyses,  hence  the  number  of  such  samples  is 
deducted  from  the  total  number  analyzed  in  computing  deficiencies  in 
valuation. 


Bulletin  327  COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS  95 


SUMMARY  OF  DEFICIENCIES 

In  the  analyses  of  the  above  samples  the  following  number  of 
deficiencies  greater  than  those  allowed  by  law  occurred : 

Available  phosphoric  acid  (total  when  available  is  not  guaranteed)....  26 

Total  nitrogen  56 

Potash  4 

In  valuation 43 

These  deficiencies  were  found  in  76  samples  out  of  a  total  of  365 
collected  samples. 

Of  the  total  number  of  valuations  reported  in  this  bulletin  64 
per  cent  are  above  the  amount  guaranteed,  while  36  per  cent  fall  below. 

MECHANICAL  CONDITION  OF  FERTILIZERS 

Fineness  is  one  of  the  essential  qualities  of  a  good  fertilizer.  It 
may  be  assumed  that  the  finer  the  material  the  higher  its  availability, 
hence  the  consumer  should  insist  on  having  finely  ground  fertilizers. 
Unfortunately,  some  manufacturers  are  at  times  careless  in  this  matter. 
The  insistent  demand  of  the  consumer  is  the  most  effective  means  of 
correcting  such  carelessness. 

Besides  the  low  agricultural  availability  of  coarse  fertilizer  and 
the  difficulty  in  applying  them,  it  is  almost  impossible  to  obtain  ade- 
quately representative  samples  of  such  goods  for  analysis.  This  is  a 
prolific  source  of  dissatisfaction  and  disagreement  between  buyers  and 
sellers.  During  handling  and  transportation  a  coarsely  ground  tank- 
age will  separate  so  that  the  top  of  the  sack  contains  the  light  coarser 
material,  high  in  nitrogen,  while  the  bottom  contains  the  finer  parts 
of  bone,  high  in  phosphoric  acid.  A  mixture  of  coarse  bone  meal  with 
sulfate  of  potash  will  separate  into  coarse  bone  at  the  top  and  excess 
of  potash  at  the  bottom. 

One  of  the  chief  reasons  for  the  work  of  the  fertilizer  manufacturer 
is  that  he  is  better  prepared  than  the  farmer  to  grind  and  mix  the 
goods  he  sells,  and  the  farmer  should  insist  that  he  do  it  well. 

CAUTION  IN  REGARD  TO  LABELING  FERTILIZER  PACKAGES 

The  law  expressly  states  that  every  package  of  fertilizer  shall  be 
accompanied  by  a  plainly  printed  label  giving  the  brand  name,  analy- 
sis, and  source  of  the  materials  in  the  package.  This  requirement  is 
not  satisfactorily  met  by  some  manufacturers  and  dealers.  Farmers 
are  hereby  cautioned  that  if  they  buy  improperly  or  inadequately 
labeled  fertilizers  or  goods  not  sold  by  properly  registered  dealers  or 


96  UNIVERSITY  OP  CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENT  STATION 

their  authorized  agents  they  lose  the  protection  afforded  by  the  Fer- 
tilizer Control.  Consumers  should  insist  that  fertilizer  tags  show 
plainly  both  the  percentage  and  the  derivation  of  each  ingredient. 
A  verbal  statement  given  by  selling  agent  should  not  be  accepted  as 
adequate.  The  honest  manufacturer  is  willing  to  guarantee  his  goods 
properly,  and  the  farmer  will  best  serve  his  own  interests  by  dealing 
with  no  other. 

FEKTILIZER  VALUATIONS 

One  per  cent  of  a  ton,  20  pounds,  is  called  a  "unit."  Computation 
of  the  value  of  a  fertilizer  is  simplified  by  use  of  the  "unit."  To 
find  the  commercial  value  of  a  fertilizer,  multiply  the  per  cent  of  each 
ingredient  by  the  price  per  unit  and  add  the  products.  The  sum 
thus  found  is  the  value  per  ton  at  the  prices  used.  If  it  is  desired  to 
use  such  calculations  for  determining  the  amount  which  should  be 
paid  for  goods,  or  the  rebate  to  which  the  buyer  is  entitled,  owing  to 
the  goods  delivered  being  below  the  guaranty,  it  can  only  be  satisfac- 
torily done  if  a  definite  price  per  unit  has  been  agreed  upon  between 
buyer  and  seller.  But  for  the  mere  purpose  of  showing  the  relative 
values  of  goods  to  guaranties,  it  is  not  at  all  necessary  that  the  prices 
adopted  should  be  the  exact  market  prices.  Thus  it  is  that  the  Fer- 
tilizer Control  in  attempting  to  show  the  relation  between  values  found 
and  values  claimed  uses  a  schedule  which  is  admittedly  only  an  approx- 
imate average  of  market  values.  Owing  to  market  fluctuations,  dif- 
ferences in  cost  of  delivery  at  different  points,  and  other  causes,  it  is 
impossible  to  obtain  true  average  market  prices,  but  if  the  reader  will 
bear  in  mind  the  true  purpose  of  the  valuations  reported  these  will 
have  served  their  purpose  and  he  will  not  be  led  to  assume  that  the 
experiment  station  is  dictating  the  prices  at  which  fertilizers  shall 
be  sold.

Nitrogen  from  blood  $0.45  $9.00

SCOPE  OF  INSPECTION 

During  the  year  365  samples  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizing  materials 
were  received  and  analyzed  at  this  laboratory.  Of  this  number  6  were 
sent  by  farmers  under  the  two-dollar  fee  provision,  81  were  taken  by 
inspectors  from  purchasers'  goods  upon  the  request  of  the  purchasers, 


Bulletin  327  COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS  97 

and  258  were  taken  by  inspectors  from  goods  in  the  hands  of  agents 
and  manufacturers.  Twenty  samples  of  a  miscellaneous  nature  are 
omitted  from  the  tables. 

The  following  classification  indicates  the  nature  of  the  samples 
reported  in  this  bulletin : 

Bat  guano 4 

Bird  guano  3 

Blood 25 

Bone  meal  23

REGISTERED  MANUFACTURERS  AND  DEALERS 

The  following  manufacturers  and  dealers  in  commercial  fertilizers 
obtained  certificates  of  registration  under  the  provisions  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Fertilizer  Law  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  July  1,  1919.  "With 
each  a  list  is  given  of  the  brands  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizer  materials 
offered  for  sale.  According  to  the  sworn  returns  of  dealers  registered 
for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1919,  their  entire  sales  in  the  state 
amounted  to  43,126  tons.  Practically  complete  returns  for  the  year 
ending  June  30,  1920,  indicate  sales  aggregating  58,636  tons. 

The  California  Fertilizer  Act  provides  that  fertilizers  cannot  be 
legally  sold  in  this  state,  except  by  those  manufacturers  and  dealers, 
and  their  authorized  agents,  who  have  obtained  certificates  of  regis- 
tration from  the  University  of  California.  No  person  or  company  has 
a  right  to  use  any  registration  number  except  in  connection  with  the 
firm  name  to  which  the  registration  certificate  of  such  number  has 
been  issued ;  and  no  person  or  company  to  whom  a  registration  number 
has  been  assigned  has  a  right  to  allow  any  other  person  or  company  to 
use  said  registration  number.  Any  number  so  used  is  a  fraud.  No 
agent  has  a  right  to  use  his  principal's  registration  number  in  con- 
nection with  his  own  name. 

By  act  of  the  Legislature  of  1919  the  administration  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Fertilizer  Act  has  been  transferred  to  the  State  Department  of 
Agriculture  and  the  duties  connected  therewith  have  been  assumed 
by  that  office  since  July  1,  1920.  All  correspondence  concerning  the 
registration,  manufacture,  sale,  and  analysis  of  fertilizers  should, 
accordingly,  in  the  future  be  addressed  to  Division  of  Chemistry,  State 
Department  of  Agriculture,  Sacramento,  California.

EEPORT  OF  ANALYSES 

Available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  determined  in  bone  meal,  tankage, 
and  Thomas  phosphate  powder  unless  requested.  The  fineness  of  these 
materials  is  determined,  fine  and  medium  bone  being  separated  by  a 
sieve  of  50  meshes  to  the  inch ;  tankage  by  a  25-mesh  sieve ;  and  Thomas 
phosphate  powder  by  a  100-mesh  sieve. 

Nitrogen  in  ammonium  salts  will,  in  some  cases,  be  found  reported 
when  nitrogen  in  this  form  is  not  guaranteed.  In  some  of  such  cases 
this  form  of  nitrogen  is  produced  by  conversion  of  organic  nitrogen 
during  the  process  of  manufacture,  and  is  not  to  be  considered  a 
deviation  from  the  guaranty.  Guanos  carry  more  or  less  nitrogen  in 
nitrates  and  ammonium  salts,  and  when  any  appreciable  quantity  of 
guano  is  used  the  manufacturer  should  take  into  account  the  fact  that 
some  nitrogen  will  show  as  nitrates  and  ammonium  salts.  The  failure 
to  take  this  into  consideration  may  account  for  the  appearance  of  these 
forms  of  nitrogen  in  some  samples  in  which  only  organic  nitrogen  was 
guaranteed. 

The  percentage  of  chlorin  is  given  when  it  exceeds  0.50  per  cent. 
It  is  a  matter  of  only  technical  interest  whether  chlorin  present  is 
from  muriate  of  potash,  kainit,  or  from  common  salt  that  may  be  in 
some  of  the  materials  used.  If  a  manufacturer  uses  sulfate  of  potash 
and  a  tankage  with  it  containing  a  large  amount  of  chlorin,  from  a 
practical  standpoint  he  has  changed  the  quality  of  his  fertilizer  just 
as  much  as  if  he  had  used  muriate  of  potash  instead  of  sulfate  of  potash. 
Chlorin  from  all  other  sources  has  the  same  effect  as  if  from  muriate 
of  potash.  However,  if  muriate  of  potash  is  found  when  sulfate  is 
guaranteed  the  fact  will  be  published. 

The  following  abbreviations  are  used  in  the  tables :  Bat  G  =  bat 
guano,  Bl  =  blood,  Bn  =  bone,  Fs  =  fish,  G  =  guano,  H  =  hoof,  Min 
Phos  =  mineral  phosphate,  Super  =  superphosphates,  T  =  tankage, 
CSM  =  cotton  seed  meal. 

Guarantees  are  entered  in  italics.  Deficiencies  greater  than  those 
allowed  by  law  are  entered  in  bold-faced  type.
